Summary of Electrify America Investment Plan VW Settlement
VW Settlement - $15 Billion State Allocations for Environmental Remediation $2.7 National Investment in EV Infrastructure, education/awareness $1.2 Customer Buyback $10.3 National/ California Investment $2.0 California Investment in EV Infrastructure, education/awareness, green cities $0.8
State allocations STATE MILLION$ Arizona $53.01 Colorado $61.31 Connecticut $51.64 Delaware $9.05 Hawaii $7.50 Illinois $97.70 Michigan $60.33 Minnesota $43.64 Montana $11.60 Nevada $22.26 New York $117.40 North Carolina $87.18 $2.7 B Distributed to States for Remediation Up to 15% of allocation in each state can be spent on light duty vehicle EV Infrastructure 85% is spent on heavy duty vehicle emission reductions (can include electrification, diesel upgrades, natural gas, etc )
National allocation $1.2 B will be spent in $300M increments over 30 Month Cycles
Cycle 1 Investment plan ($300M)
Possible Issues & Questions How can states leverage the EA investment to expand the charging infrastructure and take advantage of infrastructure upgrades? Are commissions considering investments in charging capacity as it relates to existing or projected transmission constraints and increases in demand capacity? Are PUCs empowered to consider expansion of EV charging capacity under their authority as a just and reasonable investment? Are they looking at how charging will be done at these stations?
